[edit] Yamboa

This is an unsourced article about a supposed musical instrument (similar, judging by the description, to the steelpan), but I can find no evidence of its existence despite various searches, not even a single reference (failing WP:V). The only musical references I could find were about a folk band with the same name. If this is a real instrument, it could be something that has been invented recently and simply hasn't found wide acceptance or had anything significant published about it. ~Matticus ^T_C 11:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete dare I say it looks like a hoax. Fails WP:V comprehensively anyhow and at the very best is a neologism. Pedro |  Chat  12:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, nothing corroborating in Google Books. Redirect to Yanbu, for which it's an obsolete spelling. --Dhartung | Talk 17:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Certainly looks like a hoax. If not it still fails WP:VERI. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 19:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
